It's only in there because it's one of the hops they list as being used to brew this! I could up the quantity, I've already got it in stock as i usually brew lagers and wheat beers. I'm not even sure with all those hops that it will be hoppy enough as the alpha acids are quite low.

Notes: This is an excellent clone of Harviestoun Brewery's "Bitter and Twisted Blonde Ale," which was voted the world's best ale at the World Beer Awards in 2007.

I would guess Perle replaces Challenger as the early addition in the current version, and Celeia and Bobek are both members of the Styrian Goldings family. I would mix them at the 1 min and dry hop stages.

Don't know how much of a clone this would be considering they don't use challenger or styrian goldings in the original and is bittered to 34ibu not 24!I think i'll just give my own a crack and see how it turns out. Thanks for taking the time to have a look and respond

I would guess Perle replaces Challenger as the early addition in the current version (it used to be Challenger), and Celeia and Bobek are both members of the Styrian Goldings family which are now sold separately and used to be mixed. I would mix them at the 1 min and dry hop stages. I have adapted my own Brewmate recipe:

Cheers ptm didn't realise about the hops!I don't have any flaked oats! What do they bring to the brew?I'll have a go on beersmith and adjust my hop additions, the hops i have are quite a bit lower in % than the one's in your recipe so i will need to up the quantity. Dry hop 0 days is that as soon as it goes in the fv before i pitch the yeast?

Most people add dry hops after the krausen has subsided, for the last few days before bottling/kegging. I am tending to make a hop tea in a cafetiere using water boiled and cooled to about 80C to avoid the hassle of putting hops in the FV - which either involves putting them in a weighted bag, or straining them out somehow. The effect is a bit different and I really like the dry hop effect, but I can't be arsed basically. I dry hopped my last brew, actually, and lost a fair bit of beer to the hops and struggled to keep all the hop particles out of the bottles. Hop tea adds aroma effectively. These articles are good....
